For those of you out there reading this, but not participating yet, there is still room. We have ten people building scenarios for the campaign, which is estimated to run 50 to 60 battles for the entire war. Beginners are welcome - encouraged in fact. It is a good way to start designing scenarios, and you'll get feedback very quickly (maybe not always nice, but it will be informative). Particicpation is also the only way to play. It will be several months before the campaign is made 'public'.

Hi!
Im a complete beginner at this, but id be happy to try and design a battle, if you have something suitable for me. I might go offline for up to a few weeks soon though, so if there is a tight scedule i better stay out of it!

Anyone heard from A_B lately?
I'm getting more than a little concerned for him.
He's been offline since Tuesday....

I'm back now. I had flown to Denver - where my company is based out of - and was stranded by Tuesdays attacks. Managed to get back late yesterday. I wasn't able to send emails from Denver - not easily anyway, and there were other priorities while i was there.
I should have a chance to go through all of the campaign collective emails tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.
Darroch, i got your campaign, and am going to try and play a few turns tonight.

Hi guys
I have never designed a scenario, but I am sure once I learn how to do it, I would be able to make good ones.
If you need any help, let me know.

Excellent to hear from you, Dan, welcome back
In days like these, normal little snafus become the source of worries...
I re-tested your opening battle once more - with C&C turned on...
My core force still lost most light tanks (apparently they evaporate when in the proximity of German Panzers...go figure)
Even with knowing the direction and scope of the attacks, it is still a hariy battle for the Russian! Good job on the scenario.
Playtesting of Mosh's Battle #2 commences whenever my wife will let me

I'll try and get a group email out Wednesday. I just sent you and alasandro an email.
The big problem with battle one is that the units are maxed out - so crews don't show up. I'm going to reduce the core forces slightly, to aleviate this problem, and then reissue the campaign. I'll modify battle 1 for guys that have played it, so you can get a new surprise.
We'll all have to keep the unit max in mind. I'm planning on putting out a rule on max auxillery and support units for everyone, so the same problem doesn't crop up agian.

not sure if your being serious or joking around Tomo.
for those other fans of 'Band of Brothers' out there, i have the first four battles of a US Airborne campaign done - the north african portion. Perhaps this should be the next effort?

There are 400 soviet units in that battle? I thought there were fewer. I guess those trucks add up.

Hi mate, thanks for your reply. Now me and Brad are just discussing the final points for the Orel's scen. The map is finished so I think we will have the scenario done soon <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">
I would like to play the first one also, could you send it to me?

Quick update;
Battles 1 through 11 are in, and i will attempt to compile and release them this weekend. No promises - i am heading to Denver tonight, which up to this point has been the land of no-internet-connection for me. I am scheduled to get DSL in tomorrow, and my fingers are croxxed.
I return from Denver in a week and ahalf, and will then have a bit of breathing room to get more done on the campaign.
Thanks for all the help, encouragement, and interest. We do have a couple of new guys involved, and i'll forward the campaign to you as well.
